I heard you need spacers for the hx rims but what about gsr blades and ls meshies?

yea minus the HX you either need to get spacers for them or grind down the caliper a little so they wont rub.

I picked up some gsr blades and now it starts to pull to the left, and my tires are no longer straight, one side is more turned than the other one, my toe is out.

Sounds like low tire pressure or time for an alignment.

It's weird bc with my stock steelies with hubs I didn't have that problem until I picked up the blades and put them on, I triple checked tire pressure though, all 4 are same, rotated it and get the same problem so I'm guessing it's a toe out problem, and I checked that too, the left tire sticks outwards more, this can be fixed if i tighten my tie rods right?

yea you can but i would check to see if something didnt come loose, also put the stock tires back on and see if it goes back to normal.
it could be that you didnt get the wheels on straight ( not saying you dont know how to change tires) but it is possible that you could have.

yeah I'm planning on trying on my stock ones to see if it'll get back to normal tomorrow. Let you know how it goes.

make sure your tires are not directional.

ls meshes should be lighter than the blades
the bigger the rim the less sidewall to so thats a handling upgrade too

My tires are directional, I adjusted my toe today, and now it looks straight, but still pulls to the left for some odd reason, tire pressure quadruple checked and it's fine, tie rod is fine, rims looks okay, tires are good, not sure what else to look at.

hopefully your steering rack isnt on its way out.
did this hapen just after installing the different rims? try it with different rims and tires to see if it still pulls to one side
